It is hard to make good progress when you are happily strolling, pushing your dogs around a CO mountain town...in a stroller! (Spy photo to follow)

All that would have made this one better is if we had her on video jumping and running through the rock store yelling, "Yes! We got you! YES, YES, YES!"

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Amy was pretty excited about that!


thanks for posting those pics Billy! beautiful... you can even see the undercoating! today is a huge day guys! the cabs coming home and getting mounted to the chassis and the fenders and doors are leaving to get jammed going to getthe 1 piece products installed also so there wont be any problems after she's all painted.

That thing is going to be amazing when you finish!!! He77, it looks amazing already. I like the bedliner undercoating, it gives it a cool looking transition and it should hold up like a champ!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

I just got back from vacation too Dennis. I thought I would have missed a lot of progress because I went on a week long unplugged vacation. Remind me to never do that again. It took me all day yesterday to get caught up on all the updates on here. Then to top it off I get spy photos of you pushing a dog stroller

Cab looks amazing man. I can't wait to see it sitting on the frame!!!!!

X2 on that!! It's one thing to tell someone you have a dog stroller, you could tell everyone that it was your wife's, but to have photo evidence. Man, that takes guts, Dennis you are the MAN!! Oh and by the way the cab looks great!

Looks good man! I liked the one you texted me, but all these other ones...wow! Its coming along great! Looks like its about time for a first drive video. Glad I can help everyone harass you a bit too. Only because you are a good sport.

And guys, they really love those dogs. But they are cool little dogs.

The paint on the bed is a little faded lookin' , I'd raise heck with your painter.

JK... It looks amazing!!! Can't wait for some more updates!

Showed these pics to my fiance and the only thing she wants to know about is where you got the d@mn dog stroller!!! She wants to push her Morkie around in it.
